"The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RHSA-2023:4701 advisory.
- A vulnerability was found in subscription-manager that allows local privilege escalation due to inadequate
authorization. The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users
that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a
low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or
by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration
directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an
unconfined root. (CVE-2023-3899)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
